Amanda Castro is the founder and CEO of Community Preschools in Houston, TX. Her preschools are pioneering what’s possible for a private/public education system as they serve the underserved communities in her city. Community preschools serve children ages six weeks to five years. The schools’ mission is to educate the whole child through virtues-based education, promote cultural inclusion, and to equip the children academically and physically. Amanda believes in the power of language during childhood development and the need to cultivate young minds to become responsible compassionate citizens.
